The 5 Craziest Fashion Things We Saw This Week

If the winter weather's beaten you down to blah, then you've come to the right place: our weekly roundup of the 5 coolest, craziest and off-the-wall fashion finds! There are a ton of smiles behind the jump, but most importantly...chocolate dresses (I repeat, CHOCOLATE. DRESSES.)! Seriously, you've gotta come see:

1. Runway style that's good enough to eat. See? We told you! That ridiculously amazing pic is from the Chocolate dress fashion show celebrating Paris's Salon du Chocolat 2010 Opening Night at the Parc des Expositions Porte de Versailles. The "traveling chocolate show" features a runway full of the most delicious creations we've ever seen. (And we thought that chocolate shoe we spotted on the streets of Paris took the cake!) Here's one more pic from the finale to whet your appetite: Take a gander at more shots from the wow-worthy show on Dessert Girl.

2. Panda shoes and bamboo clothes. Remember when you were teeny-tiny and you never wanted to let your beloved teddy bear go? Well, this Adidas x Jeremy Scott panda sneaker collab takes that notion to a whole 'nother level! Now, I know what you're thinking: what on earth do you wear with Panda-shaped sneakers!?! Why, bamboo clothing of course! (Bonus: It's eco-friendly!)

4. Mark by Mark Zuckerberg fashion. Forget Marc Jacobs—would you take style advice from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg? (FYI, he was just named one of Esquire's worst-dressed celebs of 2010. Ouch!) Check out this hilarious line of Mark by Mark Zuckerberg clothes, a parody of the Marc by Marc Jacobs line. Warning: Make sure your guy knows that just because the 26-year-old billionaire is wearing elastic-waist pants doesn't mean he can (OK, maybe if he makes his own billion, you can open up discussion again).

5. The built-in utility pocket skirt. How many times have you been out hiking in the woods while wearing your fave suede mini, reached for your pocket knife to slay that threatening grizzly and thought, "If only I had a pocket in the front to make this whole thing easier?" We're not sure that's the storyline that spawned the KAUFMANFRANCO brushed-suede utility skirt that we spotted on Net-a-Porter, but that's our version, and we're sticking to it. Oh, and did we mention it would run you $1,895 big ones?
